THE DANCE SERIES 3-SHOW PACKAGE
	DIAVOLO Saturday, Feb. 18, 2012 Diavolo was founded in 1992 in Los Angeles by Jacques Heim to create large-scale interdisciplinary performances which examine the funny and frightening ways individuals act with their environment. The company is comprised of dancers, gymnasts and actors who create performances collaboratively under the guidance of Heim, constantly changing the image presented to the audience. The sets created are outrageous and surrealistic and form an intrinsic part of each piece of work. Everyday items such as doors, chairs and stairways provide the back-drop for dramatic movement – leaping, flying, twirling – that creates metaphors for the challenge of relationships, the absurdities of life and the struggle to maintain our humanity in an increasingly technological world.
	ROYAL WINNIPEG BALLET Moulin Rouge - The Ballet Saturday, March 31, 2012 Moulin Rouge® – The Ballet has been seen by close to 60,000 people across North America and has elicited cheers and ovations. Along with a rousing French soundtrack, the ballet features high-kicking choreography and a passionate story of love, ambition and heartbreak. In turn-of-the-century Paris, a city of exquisite contradiction, the elixir of personal freedom bred lifestyles both reckless and addictive. Drawn to Paris by the city’s passion, a flame fuelled by the hearts of lovers and the souls of poets, Matthew and Nathalie tempt fate as they seek love and destiny at the infamous cabaret – The Moulin Rouge.
	PARSONS DANCE Thursday, April 19, 2012 The sexy, athleticism, exuberant personality and joyous movement that is Parsons Dance is comprised of 10 full-time dancers and maintains a repertory of over 60 works (20 with commissioned scores) choreographed by David Parsons. The company's style is a fusion of the gesture and movement that make up the modern dance vocabulary, and the discipline and precise execution one expects from a classical company.

Support for The Dance Series has been provided by the Iowa Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts.
